Abstract:

The idea for presenting these opinions on the future of the House of Lords as an article grew out of a seminar held in the House of Lords in February 2006, an event that itself grew from the contributions to the book Parliament in the Twenty-First Century, a collection of 30 essays from academics, commentators and politicians.1 The seminar saw presentations from Lord Howe, Lord McNally and Lord Carter, and it is their observations that follow here.2
